More Rarities (vol. 2) (100,336) by Anonymous from United States Songs that should be considered for inclusion if she does another set of unreleased material.

Always in Love 5. Dreamlover (Dave Hall Original Mix) 6. Just Be Good to Me 7. Make You Happy 8. Head Over Heels 9. Last Chance 10. After 11. Don't Go Looking for Love 12.

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,334) (100,335) by Lee from USA Yet the people that want Mariah to be more classy are rolling out the red carpet for people that had done way worse. (Friday 27 May 2022; 23:13)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,330) (100,334) by Edward from USA Celine is a great vocalist, Mariah is a musical genius, but there's a huge difference on how they have portrayed themselves throughout their careers. While Celine has always been classy, Mariah hasn't. Ever since Mariah adopted that diva persona that sometimes comes across as arrogant and petulant, she lost respect and fans jumped ship left and right. She has the instrument, she has the hits, she has the longevity and the status, but she never cultivated an image that would give her that respect. Number and hits don't necessarily give you respect, people do. With all her success, one would think mentioning her name would elicit admiration among friends and people in general, but that's not the case. One also have to consider that her shift in music and decline in the quality of her lyrics/music alienated a huge chunk of her core fanbase. When fans of a certain artist get older, they usually look for more quality unless you're a show-woman like Madonna, whom you can't compare to Mariah in terms of the quality of her music or voice, but someone who offers a show worth every penny you pay for. Different from Celine and Barbra, Mariah is very insecure on stage too, and that usually shows. While she could walk like a regular human being on stage decades ago, she could even run a little, can you image, she could run, but now she's stiff and always in her head. Had she kept being classy as in her Daydream era, she would've been the queen of queens, but it's obvious that's not who she wanted to be. And I'm not talking about her looks necessarily, but her attitude. At some point she believed her own hype and it went to her head. She only has herself to blame. (Friday 27 May 2022; 19:38)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,331) (100,333) by Tyler from USA I think Mariah herself is the reason as to why she may not have been respected like her peers. I think the over the top diva persona that was persistent for so many years cheapened her brand. The hardcore fans and music lovers understand how incredibly talented she is but for so long the antics over powered her talent. That said, I think her quirkiness, personality and sense of humor is one the reason she's probably the most relevant of all the 90's singers. (Friday 27 May 2022; 19:19)

Big Energy Remix (100,332) by Jamie from UK Big Energy Remix has climbed back up the UK charts this week back to 21. Hoping it breaks into the top 20 next week. It's been quite steady on the chart here, it dropped last week but looks like it's still hanging around. A video would defo boost sales here. (Friday 27 May 2022; 18:57)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,330) (100,331) by "MariahHater" from Hell I couldn't agree more. People love to shred a successful person to pieces. They give flowers to people who they "deemed" deserving. Impact wise. I don't know any long lasting song from Taylor Swift. She got her props because of my generation. Once you go swiftie you're cool. Maybe lambs have special ears because they know how to discern genius. Lol. No shade to others but nobody does create music anymore like how she build her music. Even Somewhat Loved is a genius. Listen to it, be mindful and just don't mind the overproduction by Jimmy J and Terry L. (Friday 27 May 2022; 10:33)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,326) (100,330) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I couldn't agree more. I go back to a question I posed months back: why is Celine revered more then Mariah and sells more concerts tickets, when her early career and Mariah's are mirrored in many ways? (Celine's voice isn't nearly what it was, exactly why people complain about MC. Celine also hasn't she shown us she has a different way to use her evolved voice. Mariah adjusts, changes approach and moves with her vocal changes. Every album and live performance shows us that.) T. Swift is such an unexplained phenom to me. She can't sing, her looks is basic and basic Hollywood, her idea of feminism is her a-list girlfriend group, and she allowed to genre jump without criticism (unlike Mariah who is still asked why she left a Streisand vibe for a Brandy vibe,20 years later). I could and would go on. But I don't care for a discussion on Swift. I'll just never understand how a committee could devalue Mariah's genius by giving a performer like T. Swift all those accolades. Mariah created her own unique genre and others simply do a good version of a genre we're all comfortable and familiar with imo. (Friday 27 May 2022; 03:25)

A-List never dates an A-List (100,329) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Hi all. If you could have your A-list Hollywood dream partner for Ms. Mariah Carey from the Hollywood Elites, who would you love to see? (For the record, I love Tanaka and think he's the best partner MC has ever had, this is just a fun convo. Don't get too lit up.) I've always wondered what would have happened if Mariah had married someone on her level after Tommy, like Victoria and David Beckham. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. I wonder if Mariah dated Mark Wahlberg. They would have been so damn hot as a couple! I could also see a Keanu Reeves because he seems like he's got a great sense of humour. Leo would have been fun as well! Who could you have seen Mimi with? (Friday 27 May 2022; 03:06)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,326) (100,328) by SM from Citizen of the World Well I hope she gets another #1 soon because I don't think she would want the title for the oldest female to score a Billboard #1. Lol just saying "Eternally 12" common Mariah give us a new single please. (Friday 27 May 2022; 02:55)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,326) (100,327) by Lee from USA I agree with you because I am sick of female artists who struggled to sell albums being inducted due to a sob story. (Friday 27 May 2022; 02:27)

Why I want another #1 (100,326) by Randy from USA As much as I get on MC about her live performances, I still think she's a musical genius that doesn't get her due. I have seen so many artists get musical tributes. I have seen so many artists not get an automatic eye roll when they are brought up at gay brunch. A lot of MCs accomplishments are undervalued because she was married to the boss or because of her Diva Ditz image. I mean Billboard gave JLo an icon award 5 years before MC and yet MC had 6 number ones by the time JLo was dancing background in Janet Jackson videos? How does Taylor Swift have twice as many Grammys as MC? And let's not start about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Whitney's in. Madonna's in. Janet's in. And Ima take a bet that Mary J Blige and Celine Dion get in before MC. To quote MC, "We love everybody." I just want to make it clear for those who have given up on one more massive era, that might be what it takes to push MC into the respected icon legend veteran category. That's why a 20th number one is important. And it's possible. Cher had her last number one at 53. (Friday 27 May 2022; 01:22)

Re: Mariah Carey (100,324) (100,325) by "MariahHater" from Hell Yeah but as a young lamb it is "moment" to witness in my lifetime the magic of having her to be so globally revered once again. Even once only, hear her new stuff on radio, people talk about "Have you heard of that new Mariah track, she is on fire." A kid can dream. (Thursday 26 May 2022; 06:24)

Mariah Carey (100,324) by Ricardo from New Zealand Meh. I couldn't really care less if she never has another hit in her life. I used to. Now I'm just proud I loved her from day dot, and she's still revered as an astounding vocalist and superstar. (Wednesday 25 May 2022; 10:09)

Re: MC x Cardi B (100,322) (100,323) by "MariahHater" from Hell Been seeing a lot of predictions from Nostra on Twitter. Is it the reason why Mariah is silent? I like her better like this than teasing with mediocre output. Based on observation, if she is tweeting studio pics, most of the time they are not her best but when she is very mum and has no social media presence, she is brewing a perfect storm. Rooting for this era. Another TEOM era please oh Lord. (Tuesday 24 May 2022; 02:57)

Re: MC x Cardi B (100,319) (100,320) by Bobby A from United States That's right. Cardi B is the female artist MC was referring to recently with the Lambs. The summer is about be hot. (Monday 23 May 2022; 00:03)

MC x Cardi B (100,319) by Darek from Poland She's coming. Mark my words. (Sunday 22 May 2022; 23:10)

MC's summer (100,318) by Bobby A from United States Could this summer really be MC's first ever album launch? There is talk on the web about some announcement on June 17th and a new single July 1st. Are we ready? (Sunday 22 May 2022; 20:22)

Re: Big Energy (100,313) (100,317) by jaker20 from US Most record artists love their numbers. They either just don't want to admit, or they don't have numbers to show in the first place. I'm sure it's important to artists of any generation as well. If BER tops the charts, imagine the surge of streaming across the board Mariah's discography. Even now, with BER being a modest hit, it's rubbing off on Fantasy's streaming because a new generation is discovering it. (Saturday 21 May 2022; 22:15)

Re: Big Energy (100,314) (100,316) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter All I can say is never rule Mariah out. (Saturday 21 May 2022; 15:49)

Re: Big Energy (100,314) (100,315) by MJLamb from Canada Big Energy was such a waste, Mariah should be collaborating with real musicians. (Saturday 21 May 2022; 11:35)

Re: Big Energy (100,313) (100,314) by "MariahHater" from Hell I can't really say as I haven't lived long enough to witness her real glory days. Last organic hit I knew was TMB then nothing more. Envious of lambs who got to live out her 90s era. I know it will never eclipse it at this time of her career but hopefully in my lifetime I can see, feel, hear her be back on top. Will it ever be crossed out of my bucket list? Only God and Mariah's perseverance knows. (Saturday 21 May 2022; 04:29)

Re: Big Energy (100,306) (100,313) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope this doesn't come off rude but let's be real Mariah loves her numbers. For years, every time there's lack of promo (not that Mariah is responsible for BER promo) from Mariah or a missed opportunity, lambs always say she makes music because she loves making music or that she doesn't want her hit to come from a feature. That is untrue and this isn't even a guess Mariah herself asked fans to make BER her next #1. Latto also pumped it up saying it's be her first and Mariah's 20th #1 and I am sure it's coming from her conversation with Mariah. Let's also not forget Mariah brought Ariana on to OS because Ariana is a monster hit on streaming and has a huge fan base and both fan bases would eat it up. So Mariah definitely cares for a hit, she said so explicitly. And there is nothing wrong with it. I can appreciate her being hungry for success even when she has legend status. And there is nothing wrong with getting it from a feature either. A hit is a hit. (Saturday 21 May 2022; 00:10)

Re: The Roof (When I Feel the Need) (100,311) (100,312) by Bill from the UK The single at the time was released as "The Roof (Back In Time)", so maybe she always intended for a subtitle? I agree this hits to hit streaming ASAP. (Friday 20 May 2022; 12:17)
